invention rclutcs to new cud useful improvements in pencils, and has for its 1311-- niui'y olucct to provide such an article mclu log; it hollow casing within which adsotd to be disposed a strip of lead that The primary object of the invention ls'to provide it relatively iueupensive, out etllcleut form of pcncil and whereby the su' gle strip of lea-id be quicldy fed therefrom and therein the lead. be used when ueces ssry. t I

Vfitli the foregoing; and othet oluccts In 'V'lEB'W as the natiu'c of t e invention will be better understood, the some comprises the novel form, combination and arrangement hereinafter more 'l'ully described and Sl'lOWD in the accompanying drawing and claimed,

lo. the drawing wherein lilo"; i'cfeiience clin kClQKS indicate corresponding parts throughout the seveful views Figure l is a trout elevation of s pencil consti'iu'ted in accordance with my iuvcu Zion,

3 is 3-, detail longitudinal. section taken substantially upon the line 3-3 of l.

New having particular reference to the d owing, my novel pencil constitutes the provision of hollow casing 5 of suitable teriul, provided with a pointed end i as its lower end, through which extends a, bore 7 in communication with tlie intecim: of the casing; as learly shown in Fig. 2.

Said casing is "formed throughout substontielly its entire length with a slot 8 that opens at the upper end the casing Within which is edsptedto be expos d a, rubber eraser carrying enclosing; pli.

Frictiomlly disposed wit on the casing; and adopted to be "forcibly slid u i-wurdly cud downwardly therein is :1 e s 10 pretci-uol v of wood. and surrounding; the lower portion of which is a, reinforcing metallic band 11, Adapted to be frictionally engaged Within the lower end of the said. sleeve is one end of a, loud strip 12 which is adopted to frictionully engage through the bore 7 in the pointed end 6 of the casing 5, Fig. 2.

l rictiouully engaging the exterior of the casing 53 is a ring 13 preferably of the some u'aaterlal as the casing, the same being concentric with the beforementioned sleeve 10 and secured thereto in spaced Concentric relation through the medium of a screw 14,

the shank portion of which extends through the ring and into the sleeve and slides within the slot 8 of the casing 5, it being apparent that a manipulation of the Ii 13 will movement of the lead carrying sleeve 10 consequently leading the lead into or out of the casing as desired.

"The ring 13 is formed at its front side, and at its lower edge with an extension 15 that covers the slot 8 forwardly of the sleeve 10 in order that said sleeve maysot be viewed exteriorly of the pencil.

lt will thus be seen that I have-provided highly novel, simple and efficient form of";

pencil, one that may be manufactured and marketed in an inexpensive manner. and. that is not liable to easily become out of order, and one wherein the lead may be fed into ow out of the casing of the pencil in a; simple and quick manner.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new end-desire to secure by Letters Patent is o lo a pencil oi the class described, a, hollow casing open at both ends, one end thereof lielng beveled to, simulate a pencil bore of the beveled end portion 0. the 1101- low casing being reduced, said casing being provided with a slot throughout substan tially tlle entire length, one end ereof openingut the end of the casing remote from said point, a sleeve frictionully and slidalily disposed in the cesiny, a lead fitted at one end within the sleeve and adapted to be expelledut its other and outwardly of the pencil casing through the reduced bore, ring surrounding the casing in concentric int. the

ring which extends across the slot being of substantially the same width as the length of said sleeve to coneeal the same, a pin having its shank extending through the widened portion of the'ring and through the slot in the casing, the inner end of said pin being threaded into the sleeve whereby said sleeve and said leed may be moved in either direction, and removable means within the other open end of the casing for limiting the movement of the leadcarrying sleeve in said 10 direction.

In testimony whereof I nflix my signature."
